The temptation was too great to resist

It has 6 times as much space as my previous one, and I believe(though the listing doesn't say it) that the included remote control has an fm transmitter built in so I won't have to buy one. My biggest fear is that I will drop it and, being a hard drive player, it will break...or it simply won't work when it gets here. I'm also not sure if it uses a simple usb drive interface or something more complex. If it's more complex then it would probably be useless as a portable hard drive at school or in Linux. I think it's just a usb drive interface because it is advertised to work in on Macintoshes.

At 67.99 it costs much more than I intended to spend, but that's about what I payed for my first 256mb mp3 player. If it has the included fm transmitter the price should look more reasonable.

Edit: I forgot to mention that the bid price went from .99 to 58.00 in less than 24 hours. Also, since the device is a Korean device, I'm not sure that the fm transmitter will work in the US, if it has one.

edit again: More info on the player at http://nextway.co.kr/english/product/nmp_150d.htm. It is one of their "Digital Dream Device" products(that's what D Cube means). At least the South Koreans are not as crazy as the North. It's probably all that rice alcohol. I think it's a good kind of crazy. We could all probably use some more Digital Dream Devices and rice alcohol.
